Eyy I'm early! :D
Biographics have all the emperor’s been cover can we have a side channel of emperors from the first to the last
Can you make a video on Bal Thakre?
wow getting woke are we?
of course a whaman is the greatest mathematician ;)
Einstein basically said she’s smart for a woman.
Sounds like a movie waiting to be made. This could be a movie more gripping than 'a beautiful mind' and no mathmetician deserves it more!
Check out the "Genius" series. There is a season on Einstein and Picasso. Extremely well made and researched and focuses more on their pereonal lives. I'd love her to get a season in this show
Miam Bialik could play her.
Or Danica McKellar who played Winnie in The Wonder Years.
ryan reynolds would portray her perfectly
Absolutely! 👍🏼
I’ve literally learned more about Important yet forgotten women in history through this channel than in all my years of formal education. It’s been enlightening and ha s changed the way I think about women’s contributions historically.
Ry Mo well, then put it in the dryer
@Ry MoIt's actually anti-brainwashing.
@@flatplant actually anyone in a university which is pure maths,knows about her theorems in module algebra,of course not everyone knows of her ,exactly how noone knows of hardy from number theory,or jordan from measure theory,this is not a sexism argument
That says more about your insufficient formal education than it does this channel because she is very well known. Try reading books, it's all there in the Library, this pompous jackass didn't invent this information.
John Smith. You seem like a pleasant person.
Imagine having Einstein as a fanboy. That should be instant immortality right there.
Yup. Greatness personified.
Einstein had a wife, that did all his calculations, including the moast famous one. So it is Einsteins, Mileva Marić Einstein's.
@Terra Novei I am refering to relativity formula, it is her's not his
@Terra Novei There were two people who were genious named Einstein (Einsteins), they were married. But it is Mileva's calculations of Albert's ideas.
Agreed. She really doesn't seem like the type person who cared whether the general public hallowed her name. The fact that Einstein publicly proclaimed her genius, and later went out of his way to secure a professor position for her at one of the USA's finest universities was surely more than enough for her modest ego.
If you’re regarded by Einstein himself as a genius.... then everyone needs to shut up and start taking notes! 👍🏻
Settle mate, tesla was the real genius. Einstein didn’t do anything different to alfred nobel, better off without what they found.
Black Weirdo i know. 3,6,9 dude. If you know, you know 🤟🏿
Black Weirdo close but no cigar, that would be 1,1,2,3 etc.
Black Weirdo all good brother, hey we all start somewhere man, don’t worry about the dyslexia either my guy, props for seeing it as a minor bump in the road and going for it anyways! Yes, 3,6,9 are very interesting numbers indeed. It is said amongst many, mathematics is a universal language. I tend to agree but alas, i know nothing. Have fun with it though dude and i would highly suggest exploring pi and prime numbers too 🙌🏿
Black Weirdo totally understand man, it is what it is but I’m glad you’ve found a way around it 👌🏿
She's not forgotten at all within the fields of physics/maths. The first time I heard her name was learning her famous theorem which is of fundamental importance in Lagrangian/Hamiltonian mechanics.
Same here.
Same here.
I'm really glad that you made this video. I know it won't get as many views as it deserves, but it's important that you made it anyway. Thanks to the team!
I think I first heard about Noether when as a CS undergrand I was learning about the ACL2 theorem prover, and how it used "noetherian reduction" to guide the proof that a recursive function eventually terminated. I had never heard of this lady until then!
As wonderful as this video is, you entirely understate the importance of her work to Einstein's theories ... Einstein enthusiastically acknowledged that he would not have been able to advance the math without her.
I thought he made that clear, with some humility.
Noether's Theorem is one of the foundations of modern physics as a whole - she provided the framework for discovering and understanding conservation laws on a profoundly deep level. She should be recognized as one of the greatest geniuses humanity has ever produced - right up there with Newton, Einstein, Riemann, DaVinci, Feynman, Hawking, Lovelace, Curie, Von Neumann, Boltzmann, and other household names
Right on former writer. A PhD and 40 years college teaching didn't give me the insights into women in history and education that you have given me. Thank you. You are a fine educator. Thank you for skirting the academic world of endless silencing and bringing your gift right to the people.
She is my idol! :D As a mathematician, I love none more htan her!
You have great taste. :-)
She is of my favourites! Thank you for shining a light on her genius and delightful attitude toward life.

Anyway great video, as always. Keep up the good work.
I'm about a minute in and I'm happy you know about the Navajo code talkers. One of my favorite stories in American history. I'd love for you to cover it in your own way on one of your many channels. Thumbs this up if you'd watch it. I sure as heck would.
@@mysticx0 And there are multiple videos and movies made about other videos Simon has made... So? There's always people that are still ignorant to the matter and would benefit by a Simon Whistler upload. Not to mention people like me who would watch it anyway, even though I already know about it.
Thanks Simon! I very much enjoyed learning about the brilliant lady.

Good work ! More unsung heroes/stories like this please 🙏✊🙏
This reminded me of the story of Lisa Meitner who grew up in Germany had the same setbacks as this wonderful lady, Emmy Noether. The setbacks being that she was female and Jewish and it was leading up to world war two. Even the physics lecturer believed she was nothing more than a secretary when in fact she had helped split the atom following Einstein's work. The other person being both male and very german, collected the Nobel prize for physics, while Lisa was brushed under the carpet.
It does sometimes both frustrate me and make me wonder, how far we have progressed in science and technology standing on the shoulders of women that have been forgotten to History.
Sincere thanks for this video! I am one of the many who never heard of Emmy Noether until today!
Nice video. Glad she got to the States and was well treated and respected by her peers.
There's a picture of Emmy Noether haning in the hallway of the physics department at Montana State University. I had always assumed that she was a physicist that I didn't know of. Thank you for a great video about this great woman.
A movie *must* be made of this woman.
What a sad, sorrowful story of this wonderful and mathematically gifted lady. Your videos are superb in introducing many of us to the wonders and amazing lives of little known real heroes. Many thanks for this.
It’s a relief to hear a biography of someone who was relatively happy throughout her life! Proof that you can be a great person and an upbeat person at the same time.
Thanks Simon for this great video about one of the great 😊
Special thanks for this one!
This person is amazing. I'm glad I learned about her.
This made me cry a bit. Emmy Noether deserved better, it breaks my heart that she was so optimistic even when her situation was dire. It makes me wonder how many other geniuses that could've made great strides in science and other areas, but weren't allowed to because they kept from doing so.
The University of Goettingen was the home of KARL F. GAUSS, one of the most influential Mathematicians who ever lived.
Noether Theorem as explained by an engineer: If you try to push open a door from the outside and an Idiot tries to push it also open from the inside, nothing happens. The energy of the door is conserved (it stays where it is, neither gaining nor loosing energy (it had none initially)). Only if you break the symetry by calling someone to help you, the door will start to move. Just count the people involved and check on what side they stand and you will know whether the door will open or not. This does not work for quantum mechanics nor for black holes, but if you just stay with the right size of things, Noethers Theorem will save you time and effort.
Beautifully told as always, such a moving story, thanks Simon.
Thank you for these wonderful videos. They saved my sanity during this covid lockdown.
Thanks for taking my suggestion.
Great video about a genuinely great individual. Thank you for sharing her life & accomplishments to a greater audience. 🙏
Poignant!
How about and installment Nannerl Mozart?
I think the her swift demise was a mercy. No prolonged pain and agony. Wonderful biography.
I wouldn’t say she’s forgotten, there’s many mathematicians many don’t know about with very significant contributions. For instance most likely have not heard of Cauchy, Weierstrass, or Galois, all who have made very important contributions and are known by all mathematicians. However I am happy this video has been made, bringing attention to someone who has found so much success even with many obstacles.
For another mathematician, John Forbes Nash Jr.? He dealt with mental illness (paranoid schizophrenia). Would be really interesting to have a bio on him.
her is a film about him, I'm sorry but I forget the title, It may have been " A BEAUTIFUL MIND" but don't quote me.
I am intimately familiar with Brilliant. I watch 1 video of yours a night. I hear about the damn thing every other night.
Could you please cut down on the ads?
Amazing work! Thank you for giving us this to learn more about this amazing woman.
Einstein wasn't a great mathematician. He was a great theoretical physicist. He had an army of mathematicians around him to support his theories.
Are you any relation to Whistler's Mother (1871 painting)?
This was awesome!!!! Thank You!
Hey bio its black history month so can you do some unknown bios on black inventories
I feel like Emmy Noether was like: "Everyone always says, sexism, anti-semitism, discrimination, nazis; I just wanna do maths for God's sake."
I think I get the point at 12:07 to some degree as followed;
The energy expended with regards to any action - the throw of a ball, eating and the absorption of food, gravity - comes and goes from one form to another; the weight of the ball (conserved as mass to gravity), the joules of calories in a diet (how much energy you internalise as muscle), the energy and distance travelled by the ball when tossed (your strength vs how much gravity slows the ball down).
So you can rightly say that a body at rest has the same volume of energy conserved as it is expending it in action.
Ian Tan I’m kinda confused with what you’re saying here, but it’s not what the theorem is
So her family is like mine: My mom is a chemist at Yale, my dad got into IIT (in India). The year my dad got in, 300,000 other people tried to get it. Only 2,000 people made it. My dad ranked 67 among them. My sister and I are both doing math above our grade.
Ayush Rudra You guys are perfectly identical. Can I shake your hand?
Not really forgotten, I learned her beautiful equation last week at uni.
Can you do one about Mathematician David Hilbert?
Thank you for this. And thanks for a yoeman's job trying to get the math out
Can you do the Austrian composer Alban Berg? He was groundbreaking when it came to atonalism. His music eclipsed his tutor Arnold Schoenberg's even though he only took up music when he was 15. His music is unique, and he had an interesting life. Congenital health problems, a secret illegitimate daughter, a suicide attempt, and he died of an insect bite just a few years before penicillin was discovered.
Do a biographics about Leonhard Euler and Haile Selassie.
I'm grumpy. Your research team and scriptwriter missed two profound points: 1. Einstein was no great mathematician; he was an intuitive physicist able to envisage how the world ought to behave, but could do it only when everything was unexciting, unaccelerated . 2) Einstein could not make his maths work in INTERESTING siruations like, oh, planets orbiting stars, without Nöther showing him how tensors could give the maths to accelerating bodies. THAT's the debt Einstein recognized... Nöther made him aware of the tool kit he lacked AND presented the foundation for subsequent challenges about "conservation" of mass/ energy/ momentum.
More please.
I would have loved little biographies on the people who discovered the different calculations and formulas in my math textbooks at school. The only math classes I actually ever disliked was Algebra 1 (because it was kinda boring) and Calculus (I thought I understood what I was doing and that I was doing it right, but the best grade I got in two and a half semesters of it at high school and university was a D-).
As a mother to three girls , we are all about girl power in this house. My second oldest is a math major in college, so this video is very inspiring. I love all your videos but I especially enjoyed this one. Thank you.
I studied in Göttingen, and even here all you hear about is Hilbert, Gauß, Weber etc.

15:06 -- The theory of ideals in the domain of [algebraic] rings.
Dear Simon Whistler,
I know you must be busy. I am placing a suggestion. Eventually, people will demand that you do a video on Mormon leaders sometime in the future. I suggest doing a video on Brigham Young. And a video on Joseph Smith. They were important in Mormon history. They both practiced polygamy and had multiple wives. They made the Mormons who they were today. For a short but deep analysis, talk about the sketchy/evil stuff they committed as well. I understand you may take my suggestion and throw it out the window but please at least read this and respond.
P.S: Joseph Smith could classify as a Connor MacGregor because he was almost convicted of being a con artist before he founded Mormonism.
Also, the life of Brigham Young would shock you. He advocated for polygamy, even if it violated the consent of women and/or the fact some girls were forced to marry underage!
Now, SHE should be on the $10 bill.
Everything fundamental in the physics idiom is product of a quantum field (i.e. electric charge to the relevant field's phase that built it). Phase is a punishing thing to find any sort of intuition with. Skip it. Noether's conservation theorem reveals that the tweaking, twisting, and tousling of this phase in this field, won't change the observable properties (electric charge in our case); that result, is 'conserved'. The symmetry betwixt field and fundamental, is what does the conserving, and is why we could rely on an electric current to watch.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Emmy, for being a brilliant mathematician, and 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 to the open-minded colleagues who supported, helped and encouraged you in your battle against the narrow-minded bigots of your time.
thanks.

You don't ask much do you, but yo left out >>>>
Simon...I have a question for a video. Why is math plural in Britain?
"Maths" is not plural.
Hey Simon and crew, I love this channel, I probably watched 90% of these videos, I'm here since the very beginning. That being said, I have a constructive criticism to make: I believe your choice of subjects is way to europe/USA oriented. And there are too few sports and music people. So many interesting individuals from out of your usual stuff, like Bob Marley, Maradona, Santos Dumont, and many others. Cheers.
I disagree about the USA /European angle. They actually have many episodes covering historical figures from other cultures. But you should also consider that the audience is probably overwhelmingly USA and Europe based.
I also get the feeling that they don't do sports and pop figures for a reason. Popular culture almost by definition needs no extra coverage, also they need to be dead to get their own episode 👻
Well, I don't think Noether is going to be "forgotten" during the next 1000 years, at least not by mathematicians & physicists. I think forgot was
the wrong word. A better word to describe e.g. both Noether, and Marie Curie, and say Maria Goeppert, Lise Meitner, Henrietta Swan Leavitt, Klara Von Neumann (all scientific pioneers) etc was they were "victimized" by the historical situation they were in, and/or just bad luck (such as Noether's early death). And all of them made great discoveries or strides forward nevertheless, mainly because of their tremendous dedication to continue despite the world hammering them, and/or lucky circumstances permitting them to -- but probably there were many other women who never made such great strides, but could have, so we lost whatever those strides would have been.
Hm never heard of her
Please could u do a box set please. On VHS if possible lol
Bravo!
Dear Simon Whistler & company ~ I would simply like to note I was unceremoniously unsubscribed from this channel by UA-cam without my knowledge or consent! I know, I know, put it into a memo entitled 'stuff we already know'
I'm a dude and I'm always excited to hear about women in history especially influential ones that changed or revolutionized the world. With what has been happening here in recent times it's only fitting we all bring their names to the front lines along with Newton and Einstein. I also think its time the education system for children and teens bring their names out for study. I feel that its bull$#!+ that I'm only learning about them now.
Another brilliant German scientists which is forgotten. Like Johann Phillip Reis who invented the first electric telephone in 1859.
lovin it
After an especially upbeat Simon on the latest Business Blaze, I meet a sobering and just as engrossing Simon here on the latest Biographics. (Shameless Business Blaze fangirl plug:-) But I don’t mind-this is history that I and the rest of the world should know. I do hope her memory one day enjoys a resurgence that approaches that of Tesla’s. I may have forgotten most of my math, but even I know that was a world-changing theory. Imagine what else she’d have accomplished in the field had life not been an unrelenting bastard. Just relieved she escaped death by Brownshirt cos if that’s where this video ended, that would’ve been an even more crushingly awful end to a life of genius

The history of humanity has blocked so much progress 😡😡😡
I often wonder about this, too. Not just in the 19th and 20th centuries, but all time. How many great mathematicians and scientists and doctors, etc, have been subjugated to slavery, conscription, or farming (not that farming is bad, but*) throughout the ages?
* but throughout most of history, farming and transportation has not been nearly as efficient as it is now. Thus most people needed to be farmers.
"Oi, Dennis, there's a lot of lovely filth down 'ere!"
I think it happens all over the world, all of the time. These days, with the internet, we see young men in Africa building machines to purify water, or young women in India creating something new. So many children could change the world if the wealthiest among us would dedicate themselves to improving things for the rest of us.
Going through all that she was happy as long as she could work on math, she was amazing, died too young.

I actually knew about Emmy before this video. I had a wonderful math teacher in middle school, Mrs. Tent, who was one of the only math teachers who made me enjoy math. She was brilliant and even wrote our textbook. She would give school wide lectures on prominent mathematicians and those who were also not well known. And we actually paid attention because we loved her so much. She wrote a book about Emmy and Leibniz who has also been covered on this channel. Mrs. Tent passed a few years ago and this video made me think of her and how much I enjoyed her classes. I also appreciate learning more about Emmy and glad to see her getting more recognition!
It’s amazing how a good teacher can make any subject interesting
Awe what a wonderful way to immortalize Mrs. Tent! Thanks for sharing your story! 😁💜
@@ItsMeAnn628 BALANCED attraction and repulsion is fundamental regarding what is physics/physical experience, or there wouldn't be SPACE OR TIME. BALANCE AND completeness go hand in hand. What makes gravity, ON BALANCE, a constant force is that it cannot be shielded (or blocked). Gravity is ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy (in and WITH TIME) consistent WITH what is invisible AND VISIBLE SPACE in fundamental equilibrium AND BALANCE. The stars AND PLANETS are POINTS in the night sky ON BALANCE. SO, a photon IS at the center of WHAT IS the Sun; as this would then CLEARLY be consistent with the requirement of time AND SPACE. (Consider what is invisible AND VISIBLE SPACE in fundamental equilibrium AND BALANCE.) Carefully consider what is THE EARTH/ground ON BALANCE. Consider what is a TWO dimensional surface OR SPACE ON BALANCE !! Consider what is perpetual motion, AND consider TIME (AND time dilation) ON BALANCE. Consider what is THE EYE ON BALANCE. Notice what is the associated black “space” AND the dome AS WELL. NOW, carefully consider WHAT IS THE SUN (ON BALANCE); as TIME is NECESSARILY (AND CLEARLY) possible/potential AND actual (ON/IN BALANCE). CLEARLY, gravity AND ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy are linked AND BALANCED opposites ON BALANCE; as the stars AND PLANETS are POINTS in the night sky (ON BALANCE). Consider TIME (AND time dilation) ON BALANCE. E=mc2 is taken directly from F=ma. Indeed, the ultimate mathematical unification (AND UNDERSTANDING) of physics/physical experience combines, BALANCES, AND INCLUDES opposites; as ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is CLEARLY (AND NECESSARILY) proven to be gravity (ON/IN BALANCE); as this CLEARLY explains F=ma AND E=mc2. AGAIN, consider what is TIME (AND time dilation) ON BALANCE !! Again, carefully consider WHAT IS THE MAN who IS standing on WHAT IS THE EARTH/ground ON BALANCE !! BALANCED inertia/INERTIAL RESISTANCE is fundamental (ON BALANCE).

It's because of channels like this that provide us with the opportunity to learn about these forgotten people. Thank you Simon and team for putting these videos together. I look forward to them almost daily!
Simon, thank you all!!! ✨
I know this is an old comment, but I've only just come across this video today and wanted to respond.
While Emmy Noether faced challenged due to her sex in her own time, this video is a bit misleading in saying she's "forgotten." It's just that her work is much farther along in the "canon" of mathematics that most people never take a class in which you would encounter her work. But take even a bachelors degree in math and you'll become acquainted quite quickly, especially once you reach the realm of abstract algebra and topology.
I'm not complaining though, more people need to know about many mathematicians who are only famous among mathematicians. Not sure if Simon has videos on these as well, but some other mathematicians tied up with WWII events in interesting ways are Felix Hausdorff and Alexander Grothendieck -- again, you'd learn their names in advanced math classes, but the general public wouldn't ever hear of them!
Physics even at a lower undergraduate level is dominated by symmetry and conservation. By finding that from each one you get the other, Nother essentially took the whole subject of phsyics and wrapped it up in a bow.

“Lit a fire under the arses of every maths department on the planet” Simon whistler 2020. Amazing
Videos like this help resurrect her memory. As I recall, H.P. Lovecraft was once forgotten by most, too, yet today he is quite recognised. These forgotten figures, also, may be remembered again - providing videos like these are made & the people who watch them spread the word.
@Ricardo Cadet I'm a bit confused, do you mean to say that HP. Lovecraft was not a real person?
Let us remember HP Lovecraft was a racist and a sexist
Truth truth truth: "Emet, emet, emet." That's what this is about, folks.
@@professorsogol5824 love that chtulu tho
Okay, let's get things straight: H.P. Lovecraft is not even in the same dimension as Noethe. Noethe helped out Einstein, has an entire theorem in her name, and basically discovered abstract algebra. H.P. Lovecraft failed to describe any of the characters of his own making. Noethe faced head-on sexism and racism at every turn of her life. H.P. Lovecraft spewed racism and sexism at every turn of his life. People look at Noethe's work and are amazed. People look at H.P. Lovecraft's work and wonder how to make it more interesting and entertaining. The scientific community would be less without Noethe. The literary community would be unchanged without H.P. Lovecraft: Cthulu is nothing more than a novelty to spruce up otherwise uninteresting sci-fi movies; A Color Out of Space is just as vague as its villain; Re-Animator is just a pulpy take on Frankenstein.
15:57 Non-commutative algebra NOT Non-communicative algebra
Wasn't it non-abstract?
@@robertrichard6107 Hamilton quaternions are one example. A group ring made of non abelian rings, is another.
if a ring is Noetherian, then it satisfies the descending chain condition on prime ideals.
Algebras that didn’t talk your ear off. You ask them questions, and they only answer in grunts and monosyllables.
"Non-commutative" just means a * b isn't necessarily the same as b * a. Abstract algebra doesn't necessarily involve numbers. This and Emmy Noether are about all I can tell you, 30 years after I last touched it. :(
Simon, I have two nobel laureates as clients. (Both in astrophysics ) And you're correct, only those who do, know. Pity indeed.
When your own father is the least famous mathematician in your life, and Hilbert, Klein , and Einstein rate you... you've made it regardless
*How often have important women been forgotten because men were "more important"?*
Quite often.
Very...
Too many. Including Einstein's wife.
How many men do you think have been forgotten? Probably a lot more.
solnegrolunaroja heh, Einstein himself is a self aggrandizing plagiarist more or less, of what people think he did, he did less than 5%. Of course he takes the glory for work done by everyone he can.
I've been researching women's history for 3 years. I'm always really glad when you do a woman's story.
If you're lucky you'll still have testicles when you're done; instead of just an empty sack of beta-male rationalizations :).
@@brownicusfutiv2175 good to hear from another anti-intellectual. Good job bro, keep it up
@@brownicusfutiv2175 Lol, WTF? He was just making a research..
@@95maferisturiz don't worry, it seems he can't get a woman, and I won't be surprised that he would blame women for his toxic behavior
Forgotten by whom? I’ve not forgotten her. I never will. Most modern mathematicians and theoretical physicists couldn’t forget her even if they wanted to.
The general public, i.e. the majority of people.
D4md Cykey Very few mathematicians are recognisable by the general public. Most people don’t even know that “mathematicians” are a professional category.
That’s a bit pedantic my good fellow
exactly
@@qubex Indeed, if 'known to the general public' is the standard, then every mathematician ever is 'forgotten', even such luminaries as Euler, Hilbert or Gauss.
She was an impressive person. Intelligent and a relentlessly positive attitude. Who wouldn't have taken a free class from her? Who knows, maybe her willingness to teach nazis made some of those sad souls reconsider their ideology.
@Black Weirdo Very well could have.
Sadly, probably not. Followers of fanatical movements, like cults and nazis and such, are uncannily able to separate things like that. I imagine they would say something like "Well, she's not one of THOSE jews". The only way to lead someone away from a cultlike ideology is complete seperation from it. I would consider this one of humanity's greatest flaws
I met a couple of her PhD students. The glowing descriptions they made of her are a testimony to her greatness.
